Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 15 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 15 pieces gummy worms
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) whipped cream
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until smooth and thickened. Set aside to let it firm up slightly.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into fine crumbs, leaving a few slightly larger chunks for texture.
Divide half of the crushed cookies evenly among six serving cups, creating a 'mud' layer at the bottom.
Spoon the chocolate pudding evenly into the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Top the pudding with the remaining crushed cookies, distributing evenly to create the top 'dirt' layer.
Insert 2-3 gummy worms into each cup, arranging them so they look like they're crawling out of the 'mud'.
If desired, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Refrigerate the cups for at least 15 minutes to let the pudding set fully before serving. Enjoy your creepy crawly creation!
